In every step forward for gay rights white evangelicals have smeared and slandered gay men as dangerous sex predators who specifically prey on children. No matter how much documented social science evidence was presented that debunked these kinds of claims, the white evangelical organizations have insisted to the public that gay men, or at least most of us, were child molesters or would-be child molesters. They ran campaigns against our rights telling parents that we were dangerous, that we would “teach” their children to be gay.
When more social science came down to disabuse the public of this evil lie against us, the white evangelicals held steady insisting social scientists were lying and, in some cases, that they were part of a satanic cabal trying to hide the truth. White evangelicals’ organizations KNEW that the only people involved in a conspiracy to hide the truth were themselves. And on top of their cover-up, they spread lies of commission about the very research that demonstrated our innocence, and often cherry-picked quotes out-of-context distorting the meaning of such passages from that research to further the white evangelical slander of us.
So, in this dark era of Trump, where his victory demonstrated to white evangelicals that they could put anyone up for elected office, no matter how far from sanity he or she was, and still win. They ignored Roy Moore’s lawless behavior as judge, his refusal to comply with constitutional norms, his extreme hatred of us and other minorities, his belief that he was bigger than the law, and white evangelicals ran him, and pushed him, knowing there was no way he could lose.
They were enthralled by his lack of compassion for his fellow citizens, whether it was his apathetic attitude towards slavery, his vile hatred of LGBT persons, and his misanthropic attitude towards women, the poor, African-Americans... well just about anyone who didn’t fit in Moore’s microscopic worldview which is inclusive only of white, evangelical, wealthy, heterosexual males. They intended to shove him down the rest of America’s throat.
And then BOOM! Their own predator-bomb they have visciously used against gay men and transwomen, blew up in their faces. And when revelations came forward that Mr Moore was a child molester, white evangelicals FUCKING DEFENDED HIM. After years of emotional and political abuse of gay men and transwomen dropping their predator-bombs everywhere that we tried to find safe harbor, their leaders told us it was no big deal. They tried to define away the sexually abusive behavior of Mr Moore. Some of white evangelicals justified their votes and support of Mr Moore by shrugging their shoulders about his molestation of a 14 year old girl, and gave him pardon because “it was a long time ago.” They gave him excuse. They said it was worse being a Democrat than being a CHILD MOLESTER!
And really, I would like to thank them for that, because in doing so, they showed us who the real reprobates in this society are: THEY ARE! So, white evangelicals tread carefully because next time you try to drop your predator-bomb, we won’t let the world forget this. And no you don’t get out of it because Moore lost his race today. The overwhelming vast majority of white people in Alabama, most of them being white evangelicals still voted for that monster.
If they EVER enter a debate over LGBT rights again while attempting to drop their predator-bomb against us, we will remind people what they really think about child molesters: so long as the child molesters are right wing lunatics, white evangelicals are fine with child sex predators enough to vote for them to hold one of the highest offices in the United States. That truth is sonething white evangelicals cannot hide. And this truth necessarily follows: white evangelicals don’t care anything about the welfare and safety of children.
So, white evangelicals don’t ever use children as your bludgeon against us, or anyone, ever again. You do NOT qualify to spend a breath pretending to care about them. We now know you care nothing more about children than you care about anyone else. Your nature is well understood. Your projection is obvious: you are what you accused others of being. You are all in this by yourselves.
